Y'all, I had no intention of writing this post. I was planning to write a post about how nice it is to be able to run an extra load when I need to. Y'know, as long as I'm rocking the run-the-dishwasher-every-night-and-empty-it-every-morning thing. I wasn't planning to review a dishwasher cleaning product. But I am, because it works. I've … [Read more...]
The One In One Out Rule and Schedules
I've made some schedule changes in the past year. I don't like schedule changes. But they're necessary. Contrary to what my brain consistently assumes, time does not expand to fit all the ideas that pop into my head. No matter how fabulous those ideas are . . . Before I was a stay-at-home-mom, I fully believed that once I was one . . . … [Read more...]
Survival Mode (I Know It Well)
Affiliate links? Check. Bragging? Check. Photo of a book with cover design colors that makes me happy? Check. Isn't that fun cover? I'm currently reading Say Goodbye to Survival Mode: 9 Simple Strategies to Stress Less, Sleep More, and Restore Your Passion for Life, but before I even received the book, I had a very favorite … [Read more...]
Use It Or Lose It
I am nervous about jinxing myself with this statement, but I'm going to say it anyway: I've had my iPhone for more than two years and I have never (really) lost it. As a chronic lose-er, this is kind of a big deal. Soon after I got it, I did have ten minutes of panic when I left it in a nearby room at church, and I do regularly call it so … [Read more...]
Need Major Intervention for Your Messy House?

Or at least you like funny things and/or don't get offended by people who don't themselves too seriously. Because of those two assumptions, when Zep Commercial Cleaners (who make ALL … [Read more...]

Some Tricks Wouldn’t Work for Me
There are some seriously smart organizing tricks that I don't bother trying. It's my developed-from-experience opinion that each person has a unique brain and must find what works for her in her home. Knowing/accepting this helps me not give up completely when expert advice fails miserably for me. It also helps me not waste time on certain … [Read more...]
Two Brown Cardigans
Once upon a time (like, a week-and-a-half ago), I spent the day with my mother-in-law. Actually, we do this every Wednesday. But on this particular Wednesday, I was highly uncomfortable. I had dressed that morning, choosing to wear my most comfortable jeans even though I couldn't find my belt. Even though I knew (from irritating … [Read more...]
Observations of Normal People – Why vs. Why Not?
I have two normal sisters-in-law. At least, normal in the sense of the definition I've created for this blog . . . Last Friday night, my sweet husband threw a birthday party for me in our hometown so family and growing-up friends could attend. It was lovely. My mother decorated the tables, and chose exactly the kinds of things that make my … [Read more...]
